THREE of Blue Security’s reaction officers helped rescue a kindle of kittens and their mother in Waterfall last night.

“I phoned Blue Security to see if they could assist. What absolute stars! These three guys, Naren Singh, Fortune Khoza, and Hopewell Msweli, went way beyond the call of duty and worked tirelessly, trying every piece of equipment they could find to get the cover off – and they did,” said a member of the non-profit organisaiton.
Blue Security commended its three officers for going beyond their routine duties to help protect the four animals.
